It's not that the wiki is the only choice, I just didn't see an
explanation in the discussion as to why it won't suffice. I reckon I see
your point now. My only concern is if you can get the design resources
to make the look&feel. However, using WordPress at least gets you the
same look&feel as the rest of the site (including when it is updated.)

BTW, WordPress isn't a requirement either - you could build this another
way, but WordPress has some conveniences, including making it much
simpler for other people to help with maintenance.

Are these 'hooks' only going to be for VDSM? Or could there be others
for other components? I'm asking because hooks.ovirt.org is a generic
namespace, vs. vdsm-hooks.ovirt.org etc. Just want to make sure we don't
lock ourselves in to a name usage that we may not always want.

I'll add Dan as an Editor for the WordPress instance - you can always
start a page and rename it if the naming changes. I'll hold-off on
requesting the DNS addition to see what the answers to my questions are.
